Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Hmuen boih hanah atue to oh, van tlim ah sak atimhaih hmuennawk nuiah khaeh ih atue to oh boih:
1All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.
2tapenhaih atue oh, duekhaih atue oh; patithaih atue oh, patit ih akung aphonghaih atue doeh oh,
2A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.
3humhaih atue oh, ngantuihaih atue oh; phraekhaih atue oh, sakhaih atue oh.
3A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build.
4Qahhaih atue oh, pahnuihaih atue oh; palungsethaih atue oh, hnawhaih atue oh,
4A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
5thlungnawk vah phaenghaih atue oh, nawnto pakhueng lethaih atue oh; takoihaih atue oh, takoih han ayae ih atue oh,
5A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
6hakhaih atue oh, sunghaih atue oh; pakuemhaih atue oh moe, vahhaih atue oh,
6A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.
7abuuhaih atue oh, huihhaih atue oh; anghngai duemhaih atue oh, lok apaehhaih atue oh,
7A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.
8amlunghaih atue oh, hnukmahaih atue oh; misatukhaih atue oh, angdaehhaih atue oh.
8A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace.
9Toksah kami mah tha pathok moe, toksakhaih atho timaw oh?
9What hath man more of his labour?
10Kaminawk mah sak hanah, Sithaw mah paek ih hmuenzit to ka hnuk boeh.
10I have seen the trouble, which God hath given the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11Hmuen boih hae Angmah ni angmah ih atue thuem ah khet kamcuk ah sak; Sithaw mah sak ih tok amtonghaih hoi boeng khoek to mi mah doeh hnuk thai han ai ah, nihcae palungthin thungah boeng thai ai panoek koehhaih to a suek pae.
11He hath made all things good in their time, and hath delivered the world to their consideration, so that man cannot find out the work which God hath made from the beginning to the end.
12Hing thung kami loe anghoe moe, kahoih hmuen sak pongah kahoih kue hmuen tidoeh om ai boeh, tiah ka panoek.
12And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life.
13Sithaw mah paek ih tangqum ah oh pongah ni, kami boih mah caak o thaih, naek o thaih moe, a toksakhaih atho to kanawm ah patoh o thaih.
13For every man that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his labour, this is the gift of God.
14Sithaw mah sak ih hmuen boih, dungzan khoek to om tih, tiah ka panoek; maeto doeh patomh thai mak ai, maeto doeh azuk ving thai mak ai; kami mah anih to khingza thai hanah, Sithaw mah to tiah sak.
14I have learned that all the works which God hath made, continue for ever: we cannot add any thing, nor take away from those things which God hath made that he may be feared.
15Vaihi ih kaom hmuen loe kaom tangcae hmuen hoiah anghmong; kaom han koi hmuen doeh kaom tangcae hmuen baktiah ni oh; kalaem tangcae hmuennawk to Sithaw mah omsak let tih.
15That which hath been made, the same continueth: the things that shall be, have already been: and God restoreth that which is past.
16Ni tlim ah kaom lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah kasae sakhaih oh; toenghaih ahmuen ah sakpazaehaih to oh.
16I saw under the sun in the place of judgment wickedness, and in the place of justice iniquity.
17Sithaw mah katoeng kami hoi kasae kami to lokcaek hmaek tih, tiah ka panoek; to pongah tok amsakhaih atue oh moe, toksakhaih atue doeh oh.
17And I said in my heart: God shall judge both the just and the wicked, and then shall be the time of every thing.
18Kami capanawk khosakhaih kawng pongah hae tiah ka poek; kaminawk mah angmacae hoi angmacae to kasan moinawk baktiah ni ka oh o, tiah panoek o thai hanah, Sithaw mah nihcae khaeah amtuengsak tih.
18I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God would prove them, and shew them to be like beasts.
19Kaminawk ih taham loe moinawk ih taham hoiah anghmong; to tiah kanghmong taham to ni nihnik mah zing hoi hmaek; maeto duek baktiah, kalah maeto doeh duek toeng; ue, nihnik loe anghahhaih takhi maeto ni tawnh hoi; kami loe moi pongah amek kuehaih om ai; hmuen boih loe azom pui ni.
19Therefore the death of man, and of beasts is one, and the condition of them both is equal: as man dieth, so they also die: all things breathe alike, and man hath nothing more than beast: all things are subject to vanity.
20Hmuen boih ahmuen maeto ah ni caeh o; hmuen boih maiphu hoiah tacawt o baktih toengah, maiphu ah amlaem o boih let.
20And all things go to one place: of earth they were made, and into earth they return together.
21Toe kami ih pakhra loe ranui bangah caeh tahang moe, moi ih pakhra loe long ah caeh tathuk, tiah mi mah maw panoek?
21Who knoweth if the spirit of the children of Adam ascend upward, and if the spirit of the beasts descend downward?
22To pongah kami loe angmah ih taham ah kaom, a sak ih tok nuiah anghoe pongah kahoih kue, tidoeh om ai boeh, tiah ka panoek; anih pacoengah timaw om vop tih, tiah panoek thai hanah, mi mah maw anih to patuek tih?
22And I have found that nothing is better than for a man to rejoice in his work, and that this is his portion. For who shall bring him to know the things that shall be after him?
